A copper snare drum with warm tone and wide tuning.
Whether chosen in the responsive 14x6.5" size or the deeper, more powerful 14x8" configuration, the Franklin Drum Company Brushed Copper Snare Drum delivers a distinctive blend of warmth, articulation and musical versatility. Its refined brushed copper finish and chrome Franklin script badge create an elegant, professional appearance, while the copper shell produces a smooth, balanced voice that remains expressive across a remarkably wide tuning range. Designed to perform equally well in the studio, on stage or in the practice room, this Guitar Center Exclusive snare combines classic tonal character with modern reliability for drummers who demand both sensitivity and power.
Warm Copper Tone and Wide Tuning Range
Built around a 1mm copper shell, the Franklin Drum Company Brushed Copper Snare Drum produces a warm, clean sound with excellent sensitivity and musical depth. Copper's naturally balanced tonal characteristics offer a unique combination of warmth, articulation and controlled sustain, making the drum equally effective for subtle ghost notes, crisp backbeats and dynamic accents. A flanged bearing edge with an integrated snare bed enhances snare-wire response and head seating, helping the drum maintain clarity and consistency whether tuned low for fat, vintage-inspired tones or higher for increased cut and projection.
Professional Components and Dependable Performance
Handcrafted in Minnesota and engineered for reliable performance, the Guitar Center Exclusive Franklin Drum Company Brushed Copper Snare Drum features eight centered beavertail lugs, durable 2.3mm triple-flange hoops and an Inde throw-off system for smooth, dependable operation. A set of 25-strand German metal snare wires delivers crisp sensitivity and articulate response, while premium Remo drumheads—including an Ambassador Vintage coated batter head and Ambassador snare side hazy resonant head—provide a balanced blend of warmth, attack and control right out of the box. The result is a versatile snare drum that adapts effortlessly to a wide range of playing styles and musical settings.
